Add a Pearl of Wisdom you have come across. These might be humorous or serious. I offer a couple to start:

When you have a problem act like a duck. On the surface, cool and calm......underneath paddle like crazy.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark, a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

Remember, once you get over the hill, you'll begin to pick up speed.

Speed is not always an advantage; the snails were on board with the cheetahs.

I always know God won't give me more than I can handle but there are times I wish He didn't trust me quite so much.
